Summary
Summer break, two years after graduating high school. Will and Mike almost kiss, and everything changes. They find themselves on a journey together after a mysterious clue. They have no choice but to finally confront what’s been going on between them for years.
“I keep showing up,” Mike says. His voice doesn’t break, but he feels like it should. “Even when you try to throw me away.”
Will flinches, and Mike hates himself for it immediately.
“I didn’t- ” Will says, and his eyes drop. “I didn’t throw you away.”
Mike’s mouth twitches. Not a smile. Something sadder. “You threw the letters away.”- Language:

Summary
He flipped open the yearbook and slid it across the table.
"Every junior and senior at Hawkins High is in this book. I need you to go through the photos and find out which guys could be interested in Will."
El stared at him. "You want me to look into people's heads to find out if they are gay?"
His face lit up. "Yes! Exactly. I knew you'd understand."
"Mike. I can not do that." El frowned at him, looking genuinely let down.
Mike's smile dropped. "What? Why not?"
Determined that Will deserves someone who loves him, Mike enlists El to use her powers to scan the Hawkins High yearbook and identify every gay guy in school. She gives him three names. Mike gives himself a week to find Will the perfect boyfriend.

Summary
Will loved ordinary things, an uneventful existence was something he craved. Sadly, when Mike Wheeler walks into his life, Will’s easy going path snaps right in half. A passion he could never imagine overtaking his whole being.
It was too bad their friend groups hated each other and his sister had a huge crush on the musician. Off limits.
Fantastic.

Summary
“Instead of playing that song, I will strive to use my new disc jockey skills to bring about romantic bliss for the one person left in this town who really deserves a happy ending.”
Will clears his throat. He looks like he’s ready to cry. “And, um, what am I swearing?”
“You, younger Byers,” Robin says, “are swearing that you will be your truest self and not neglect your hard-won feelings, and that you will try to believe in a world where the boy you love loves you back. In the gay way, of course,” she adds.
“Of course,” Will sighs. “Well, then, I swear.”
Or: 5 times Robin and Steve play the wrong song + 1 time they get it right
